Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 90 /100

Critics welcomed Revenged Love as an engaging and highly entertaining adaptation, praising its blend of romantic comedy hilarity, scheming drama, and strong lead dynamics. Reviewers noted that the series serves as a worthy and rustic remake of the 2015 hit Falling in Love with a Rival, capturing enthusiasm right from its opening episodes.

While some commentators noted that the story felt slightly watered down compared to earlier iterations, they still found the show deeply delicious and satisfying. Across its 24-episode run, critics appreciated how successfully the series managed complex subplots alongside the central romance.

“This series was well done and explored how all these things intersected the lives of our two main characters.”

“A Bit Watered Down but Still Delicious!”

“I haven’t been this hyped about reviewing a show in a long, long time!”

Why fans love it

Revenged Love arrives in 2025 as a genre-blending take on the danmei format. It shifts between high-stakes crime drama and a complicated love triangle involving a central bisexual protagonist. The narrative framework centers on a calculated ruse intended to sabotage a past relationship, turning a scheme into a genuine and unexpected romantic connection.

The series stands apart by pairing action sequences with a focus on interior character shifts. Zi Yu portrays the lead in a cycle of shifting loyalties and pretend intimacy that forces him to confront his own desires. By emphasizing the blurred line between vengeance and affection, the show challenges the stability of its own premise, moving past typical romance tropes to examine the consequences of playing with feelings.
